I'm hearing more and more that this 7.3 is an ugly rumor, no substance to it.
I believe the Internet rumor mill in this case because union official let it slip that their plant was getting the new engine.

Also the Expedition doesn't have the payload capacity for this application, even if you completely ignore the payload ratings. Needs an 8-lug vehicle for four growing children and a ~9000lb trailer. An Expy could tow the trailer OR haul the kids, but not both.
You are correct ! With a couple of beefy teenage linebackers and all of teenagers "necessities for life", the only solution I see is a 3/4 ton crew cab and a second small car.
